About Us

The Resistance is a curated reblog (and occasional blog). We aggregate salient quotes and excerpts of articles on politics, Christianity, religion, tribalism, culture, music activists, current events, new movements, hopeful stories, and emerging progressive voices that we discover and feel compelled to share.

As Christians and people of faith we can no longer be silent. Opposing voices have been the loudest voices defining who we are for too long. We are highly critical. — We are critical because we love. We are the local, neighborhood, grassroots revolution.

We encourage you to share these quotes to Facebook and Twitter, like/heart your favourites and read the articles they come from. We always attribute the original authors. Read more
